ICC praises Nigeria over women’s cricket invitational
Patricia Kambarami, an official of the International Cricket Council (ICC), has scored Nigeria high in the organisation of the just-concluded maiden Nigeria Women’s T20i Cricket Invitational in Lagos.
Ms Kambarami, an ICC regional development manager, present at the week-long invitational in Lagos, commended the Nigeria Cricket Federation (NCF) for its effective organisation.
She also appreciated the performance of the five teams (Ghana, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, The Gambia and hosts Nigeria) in the event.
“The participating teams put up a good performance. I must also say that the organisation of this tournament and the quality are top-notch,” noted Ms Kambarami. “I could see that a lot went into making this tournament what it was, and it is great to see the success that was achieved.”
The ICC official also said she was impressed with the quality of the Nigerian women’s team, which participated in the invitational.
“The Nigerian women’s team has improved tremendously. I watched them in Zimbabwe in 2019. But what I am seeing now is impressive, and I really must congratulate the NCF for what they have done with the team. It’s such a brilliant job,” she said.
Ms Kambarami added, “It’s great to see the improvement from the Nigerian side, and I am so impressed by this.”
